Pivotal Melds Big Data and Platform as a Service

Abstract

One significant challenge with big data is the complexity of architecting and assembling a complete technology stack to support companies’ analytics initiatives. Pivotal addresses this with its broad portfolio of interlocked data platform and agile development offerings, including alliances with strong connections to EMC, Isilon, and VMware and participation in the Cloud Foundry community for a ready PaaS environment in their own version, Pivotal CF. Recently announced enhancements to its products go further in establishing Pivotal’s position as a solution leader in the big data market. Although further integration is needed to realize the solution’s full potential, the vision is compelling.
